I have a very very very weird problem. I have no idea what's wrong with my servo. My steering servo on my t-maxx is acting up. Whenever i plug the steering servo into my RX the power cuts. No matter what outlet i plug the servo into on the RX the power cuts!!! the other 2 servos work flawlessly when i plug them into the RX, but when i plug the steering servo in the power dies. I have tried putting the servos in different channels than what's normally used and still the same thing, the power dies when i plug the steering servo in. I even hooked up my HOBBICO volt watch into the RX to test the batteries. When i plug the throttle and the reverse servo into andy channel the voltwatch has the green light (maxx power) then when i plug the steering servo into any channel the voltwatch totally cuts out and doesn't light up. It's like my steering servo is cutting the power. I have NO idea what's going on. Any ideas???????
edit 1: I have now tried plugging in all three of my servos into a Y harness with the battery connected to the harness also. My throttle and my reverse servos twitch like they're being powered, but when i hooked up my "high torque" traxxas steering servo, no go. This is weird. ..........................i need a new servo...
edit 2: yup it's the steering servo. I plugged in the 2 existing servos (minus the steering servo) and then one of my old hitec servos and it worked fine. I DO need a new servo. Any suggestions??
